and the first word you need to say in every city and state, and just draw a line in the sand, is public schools exist for the benefit of the children. you're going to see a lot of people fall over it, because any time you're spending $199 billion dollars a year, somebody's getting it. and the children get lost in the process. so that's step one. keep in mind in 1960, when our schools were the envy of the world, we were spending $16 billion on them; now we spend more than any other nation in the world -- 199 billion a year -- and rank at the bottom of the industrialized world in terms of education achievement. one more time you've bought a front-row box seat and got a third-rate performance. this is a government that is not serving you. by and large it should be local -- the more local, the better. interesting phenomenon: small towns have good schools, big cities have terrible schools. the best people in a small town will serve on the school board; you get into big cities, it's political patronage, stepping stones -- you get the job, give your relatives a janitor's job at $57,000 a year,
